In this week's episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy discusses the ever-important topic of money and how it influences the concept of being a "well-resourced woman." Kris doesn’t just scratch the surface; she opens up about her personal experience and tackles the complex relationship many women have with money.
Kris argues for seeing money as an entity we have a relationship with, rather than just a tool. How does your money view its relationship with you? Is it feeling loved and cared for, or neglected and misunderstood? A strong relationship with money, she suggests, is crucial for women, especially those running multimillion-dollar businesses. She also candidly shares her own journey of financial missteps and lessons learned.
The heart of the episode is a call for women to take charge of their money’s narrative in their lives. She emphasizes the need for women to build financial acumen, handling their own assets rather than handing them off to husbands or other advisors who may not have their best interests in mind. "The smartest person in the room when it comes to your money should be you," she asserts.
Whether it’s discussing investment fears or the need to learn the ins and outs of selling a business, Kris underscores the importance of knowledge and empowerment. Tune in for a refreshing take on money matters that just might reshape how you see that dollar in your pocket.
